A Little Embossing Never Hurt Anyone

March is already here. With the event of Easter, everyone is thinking bunny, so I thought I'd create a bunny card. After embossing my three baby bunnies, coloring with Copic markers and die-cutting them, I wanted to make a simple card. I chose one bunny and wanted to ground the bunny, so I sponged some distress ink pumice stone to create a background. I didn't want the sponged area to stand out more than my bunny, so that's why I chose this color. You could probably use some other gray tone too. The "miss you" sentiments is part of the Hero Arts set and I feel you could send a card like this any time during the year. I really like this very simple card.

About Me

I never crafted until my sons were 8, 10 and 12. I found ceramics and with a neighbor, purchased green ware, painted, baked in my kiln and marketed on a local scale, to Flower Shops all sorts of unique ceramics. Their pianos were especially noted. Lots of dust and downward swing in the economy lowered my interest in this activity.
I tried a craft that took up less space, beading. That is still interesting, but not as much as creating paper projects, especially cards.
My oldest stamp is dated 1995. It was an off and on love, but finally, a couple years ago, I became an avid card maker.
There is a saying among card makers, “There is never enough paper”. I am now saying “NO” to paper because there is enough paper for now… well, down to one page a month for awhile.
